It's holiday time! While we will miss each other over the school break, it's good to have time to spend with our families to rest and convalesce after a busy term. We celebrated our last day at school by dressing up, writing some special letters to Santa and paying him a visit. Exciting times!From all the children and teachers in K1KB, we thank you for your support this semester and have a relaxing break. See you in 2014!

Christmas is such an exciting time for many of us. In K1KB we are trying to remember to be grateful towards the people who help us most. We want to show kindness and generosity, so instead of (or as well as) thinking about what we want for Christmas, we thought about others too. Come and have a peak at our Christmas wishes!

Recently, our inquiry into light and shadow has taken an interesting turn. After a session of shadow tracing outside Abulkhair asked a very interesting question: "Where does the sun go during the night?"

We viewed a video about the sun, the orientation of the earth around the sun and how this affects night and day on earth.

We also had a visit from the very knowledgable children in G2JV who showed us what they have been learning about how the world works.
